This post looks like a precursor to the offseason thread. I think it's time.

I really need to change my team name. It's cringe-y.

These are all really useful players, but not a single offer yet.

You're good. I dropped him from your roster and added him.

I'm fine with it if he doesn't, but I feel there's a chance he might get enough appearances to remain eligible for a while.

I wasn't planning to, but it kind of just happened. I like the return I got.

It's all done already. You just need to drop a player so I can add him to your roster when I get home tonight.

Trade deadline in 11 days. I would love to move any or all of the following really awesome players: Alex Avila or Travis d'Arnaud Lucas Duda Ryon Healy Ivan Nova Tommy Hunter

I'll make my roster moves now and edit the spreadsheet. Edit: I'm dropping Luis Campusano and promoting Manny Margot and AJ Reed.

To Jim: Yoan Moncada To me: Aaron Hicks and Willie Calhoun Jim to confirm.

To AG: Zach Davies To me: Alex Faedo AG to confirm and make roster moves.

Trades, Trades, Trades! To JFL19: David Dahl To me: Luiz Gohara and Joey Wentz J to confirm and make roster moves.

That's the return I was thinking of as well. Mind you, Avila went as part of the package, but I can't imagine he had a ton of value despite his career year.

And from the chat: 12:33 Pearced: Thoughts on Pannone? Solid back end starter? 12:33 Eric A Longenhagen: That’s probably his ceiling. Not sure how that fastball will play in the big leagues. 12:34 Joe Schlmo: Teoscar Hernandez a solid regular next year? 12:34 Eric A Longenhagen: I think so. Has hit well since finding footwork he was comfortable with in the box. 12:41 Big Tuna: Which prospect improved their value the most at the deadline? (either by trade or trade of competition) 12:42 Eric A Longenhagen: Probably Teoscar, who gets a shot to play more regularly now. 12:45 Erix: Do you have Connor Greene thoughts? 12:45 Eric A Longenhagen: 70 fastball. I think that’s kind of it. 1:14 PF: What do you make of the Blue Jays’ business this trade deadline? Pannone seems really interesting by the stat line scouting no? 1:15 Eric A Longenhagen: He does, but the guy I think is very interesting is Samad Taylor. 70 runner, premium athlete, sneaky raw power for his size. 1:24 PF: Best prospect traded at the deadline that no one’ stalking about? 1:24 Eric A Longenhagen: Luis Madero, Taylor and Myers are the ones I think are fun sleepers in this year’s group.

Longenhagen ranked the prospects traded during the deadline season: 45 FV Prospects 10. Teoscar Hernandez, OF, TOR (Acquired for Francisco Liriano) Hernandez simplified his footwork in the box and took off last year, but there was nowhere for him to fit into Houston’s outfield. His natural bat speed and wrist strength generate the quality of his contact. He projects as an average hitter with average game power. If he can play center field (most scouts think he can) he’s an average everyday player. In a corner he’s a second division regular unless his glove buoys his overall value. 40 FV Prospects and below 33. Samad Taylor, 2B, TOR (Acquired from CLE for Joe Smith) A twitchy and athletic plus-plus runner without prototypical shortstop arm strength, Taylor has an intriguing blend of physical tools and early-career performance. Scouts are concerned about his lack of size, but he does have some pop. He’ll need it to profile at second. 44. Thomas Pannone, LHP, TOR (Acquired from CLE for Joe Smith) Pannone is throwing a bit harder this year and sitting 88-91. He sequences it well, changing hitters’ eye level with it and a loopy curveball. Scouts are skeptical of his stuff playing in the majors long-term, but he has a FIP under 3 at Double-A right now.

Well, he actually sucks. And they already have a better defensive SS in Hechavarria, and then there's Willy Adames who will be up soon. It makes sense.

I'm currently receiving and sending a whole lot of ghost PMs where messages are actually typed and sent, but it's just a blank message to the other party. I can confirm that this is happening on both PC and mobile.

Yep, I can't imagine a scenario where they weren't offered at least a pretty good return for him, but instead they probably refused to budge on their initial ask to reflect the market. I hope this comes back to bite them in the ass.

He plays in an extreme hitter's league - the PCL.

I expect this FO will make a play for Otani when he's posted.

FWIW - which is probably nothing - Smith said he really enjoyed his time in Toronto and that, "you never know, I could end up coming back here again" in a post-trade interview with Hazel Mae.

Yup, I got it.

D'oh. Thanks.

Well, that sucked.

Throwing it 93 tonight.
